Recensioner i media

The volume is comprehensive and the selection of classic pieces - including contemporary, 20th century classics - is terrific. I am able to teach material in the order I prefer and I can be sure to find the appropriate reading in this anthology. The Chalmers volume lends itself to tailoring the course syllabus to the needs of the instructor. Moreover, it is the only anthology that I don't have to supplement with handouts or a reading packet, and that is veryattractive." Joe Cruz, Williams College
